Actually, I'd say this is very realistic. It might be a pipe dream getting my personal fave Logan Morrison at #126 after his dominant OHL playoffs, but everything else seems realistic.I was bored so I did a sim draft with that site @StevenToddIves mentioned. And before anyone kills me, Slaf was picked #1 lol.
2. Shane Wright
37. Noah Warren
70. Christian Kyrou
102. Michael Fisher
110. Dmitri Buchelnikov
126. Logan Morrison
141. Maxim Barbashev
166. Ivan Zhigalov
198. David Spacek
I don't think is very realistic at all, but it was fun. Also, I'd like a grade for this, but I think it'd be hard to do that without knowing what the entire draft board looked like, which I'm not sure how to show (and I think it's too late). There were not really great options at 37 tbh.
Buchelnikov and Barbashev and very intriguing prospects out of Russia and show you've done your research, no nice job there. I actually think both could fall later in the 2022 draft than you took them, due to the "New Russian Factor".
Warren at #37, as you know, is a pick I really like a lot. 6'5, athletic, physical, smart, extremely adept defensively -- nothing not to like there. Zhigalov is a goalie I've discussed, though my "goaliephobia" prevents me from too much hyperbole with the prospects.
Michael Fisher might be your most intriguing pick. He's 6'2-200, can fly and displays some very good offensive skill. He's a bit of a scary pick due to not having played against any reasonable competition, but he's a great swing-for-the-moon-type sleeper. The next few years at Northeastern could show him to be a steal after the 3rd round.
You are truly a treasure.I took a crack at this.
What does it take to make this list? Well just being foreign doesn’t make a name wacky and fun but it can happen.
Other than that, names that sound like cool D&D or Star Wars characters are highly rated. Names that sound like fictional characters from other sources go after that. Cool Italian names often make the list. Or just names that have some oomph or pizazz.
